Kentucky Derby Dress

Sorry that I'm a day late posting this but I was so busy with having a little get together for the Kentucky Derby I didn't have time to post.

I snagged this dress because of its 1940s feel! (I love a good vintage style dress) So when it came time to refashion something for watching the Kentucky Derby I thought this classic dress would be just the thing!

Okay...it's a little frumptastic.

Love the sleeve ties, too cute. Sadly, they did not make it :(

First things first...with every old dress comes...ugh shoulder pads. You call yourselves shoulder pads? You should be ashamed! These are like micro shoulder pads!

I had to shorten the sleeve length which is why I couldn't save the cute sleeve ties.
